The medicine was ready. Mable was about to drink it when Rahman came downstairs. He took a nap at noon and had just woken up. Although he heard from Hugh that Solomon came to deliver the real Ice Jade Flower, he was still displeased. “Mabes, I’ll take a sip of the medicine first. You can drink it if there’s no problem!” As he said that, he scooped half a spoonful of the medicine and drank it before Mable could stop him. “Rahman, are you stupid? Why did you drink the medicine if you’re not sick?!” Mable grabbed the spoon and looked speechlessly at him. Rahman pouted and looked at the bowl of medicine with a disgusted face. “Do you think I want to drink it? I’m just afraid you’ll be poisoned again and vomit blood profusely.” Solomon glanced at him. “Not this time. Mable checked and confirmed that the Ice Jade Flower was real.” Rahman sat arrogantly on the sofa. “It better be, or I’ll bring my men to blow up Fowler Enterprise!” Solomon rolled his eyes at him. “You?”
“Blair will be back in a while.” Solomon added after a pause, “He’s a little injured.” He wanted to tell Tracey in advance so she would be prepared. Tracey nervously asked, “Injured? What happened? Is it serious?”“It’s not a fatal injury. It shouldn’t be serious.” Solomon’s biggest worry was not the gunshot wound on Blair’s forearm but the poison he drank. Given Isaac’s character, the poison was definitely not simple. Before long, the sound of helicopter propellers came from outside. Tracey and Solomon walked out and waited for the helicopter to stop at the tarmac in the backyard before walking over. Blair was carried down the helicopter on a stretcher. “Master Blair’s condition isn’t too good. His wound has been bleeding profusely, and he also caught a fever. The medical standard in Rilburg is limited, so I sent him back first.” Solomon was stunned. “How could this be?” “Blair, Blair, how are you?” Tracey looked at Blair’s pale face from blood loss and cried
Ashdale. After Solomon left, Mable hesitated for a night before finally calling Blair. The phone rang for a long time, and no one answered. She called him again. This time, the call was quickly picked up. “Hello?” Blair’s attractive voice was heard. However, there were no emotions. Mable asked, “Why didn’t you answer the phone just now?” Blair gave a short response, “Busy.” “Oh.” Mable was about to ask about him when he asked, “Can I help you?” He sounded cold and distant. Mable was startled. Was he not being too cold?“I just wanted to thank you. I’ve taken the Ice Jade Flower you had Solomon send over. Thanks.” “...Mm.” Blair stopped talking, and Mable did not know what to say anymore. The two kept quiet until Mable broke the silence and asked, “Blair, are you okay?” Blair was being unusual. Hence, she was worried he was hurt. Blair answered, “I’m very well.” He was still cold and did not talk much. “I—” “Is there anything else?” Blair asked.
Ralph paused for a moment and suddenly became serious. “Where’s your Uncle Frank? Call him over!” “He…” Mable answered after a moment of hesitation. “He fled the country.” She did not dare to tell him about Frank’s death. Although Frank had done many wrong things, he was still Ralph’s son. Ralph experienced the feeling of loss when Mable’s parents passed away. She was afraid he would not be able to take it anymore. “Grandpa, many things happened during this time…” Mable told him about Frank hiring assassins to kill her and the fact that he poisoned him. She also told him how Frank and Marissa stole everything in his safe when they fled. “That bastard!” Old Master Jefferson was red with anger after he heard about everything. He knew his poisoning had something to do with Frank. However, he did not think that Frank also tried to get Mable killed. Their family was unfortunate! Ralph held Mable’s hands tightly. “Mabes, when I find them, I’ll personally settle the
Blair could not go downstairs to meet the guest, given his condition. Besides, he did not want to see Anthony, so only Tracey went downstairs. In the living room, on the first floor. A man in a casual suit sat on the sofa, savoring the tea he was served. He was handsome and resembled Luke. His skin was fair, making him look like a character from a comic strip. When he heard footsteps, he turned around and saw Tracey walking down the stairs. Anthony put down his cup and stood up before greeting her with a smile. “Trace, long time no see.” The last time Tracey and Anthony met was more than ten years ago, during their grandpa’s birthday. Luke had brought him back to join their family, but their grandpa did not agree to it. Afterward, Anthony was sent abroad by Luke. Tracey initially thought they would not meet again. She walked over, sat on the sofa, and asked nonchalantly. “It’s been quite a while. When did you come back?” “A week ago.” As Anthony said that, he look
Tracey scoffed. “Which law states they can’t remarry after getting divorced?” In any case, she felt that Mable and Blair were the best match. Although they were separated at the moment, given Blair’s feelings for Mable, he would definitely continue to pursue her. “That’s true.” Anthony looked upstairs again. “Is Master Blair so busy now that he doesn’t have any free time?” “Yes!” Anthony put down his teacup and stood up. “In that case, I won’t bother you any longer.” Tracey stood up. “Sure, I won’t see you off.” Anthony walked to the door. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and stopped. “Is there something else?” He turned to look at Tracey and smiled faintly. “Trace, feel free to look for me if you need any help in the future.” Tracey was stunned. “You’re not going back to Monafett?” Anthony shook his head with a smile. “Mm, I’m not.” When he came back this time, he did not think about going back. Tracey only forced a laugh. After Anthony left the
Ashdale. Ralph had been lying in bed for too long. His leg muscles shrunk, so he could not get out of bed to walk for the time being. Since he also did not want to lie in his room, he simply got into a wheelchair. The weather was great today, so Mable pushed Ralph in his wheelchair after lunch to bask in the sun. Ralph had asked about her situation during the two years she lost her memory. However, she made something up and did not tell him about her marriage and divorce from Blair. In any case, she and Blair would not have any more interactions in the future. After their walk, Mable sent Ralph back to his room for a nap. She was planning on working in the afternoon when she received a message from Tracey before she left. Mable opened the chat and saw a video. She played it and watched a video of Blair mumbling while asleep. Mable looked at his pale face and felt her heart twitch. ‘What happened to him?’ Judging from how Blair looked in the video, he was clearly s
Arthur walked over and frowned slightly. “Miss, Master Blair said not to tell anyone about his injury.” “Mabes isn’t an outsider. Besides, I didn’t say he’s injured. I told her he’s sick.” Tracey glanced at Blair’s bedroom and said somberly, “Blair kept calling Mable’s name in his sleep. He misses her a lot, but he’s afraid she’ll worry if he sees him like this. He doesn’t want her to know he got injured because of her.” Arthur looked at her somewhat awkwardly and in confusion. “Since Master Blair and Ms. Jefferson have such a good relationship, why did they separate?” Tracey sighed. “Mabes liked Blair before this, but he didn’t like her. Now that he’s fallen in love with her, she doesn’t seem to like him anymore.” “Is that so?” Arthur continued after a pause, “If Ms. Jefferson doesn’t like Master Blair, why would she hurry over when you told her he’s sick?” After all, Ashdale was several hundred kilometers away from Richworth. It was not as if Mable could show up right a
“Arthur proposed to Tracey?!”In the afternoon, Tracey posted several photos of her and Arthur in a hot air balloon. In one of the photos, she held a bouquet with a dazzling ring on her ring finger.[Yes, I do.]That was the caption.Blair hugged Mable and nodded with a smile. “Yeah, Arthur proposed to her today. Trace called to say they’ll prepare for the wedding after they return from their trip.”“That’s great!”Mable was sincerely happy for Tracey and Arthur.She asked Blair, “Do they have any ideas for the wedding? We can help them prepare in advance.”Blair said, “We can call Trace and ask.”Mable looked at the time. It was midnight in Monafett, and she did not want to disturb them by calling at this hour. She smiled and said, “I’ll call her tomorrow.”Getting two good news in a row today made Mable feel particularly good. After dinner, she could not help but want to drink some wine to celebrate.Blair had not drunk for a long time, either. Seeing her in high spirits,
Kyle stared into Zoe’s eyes. He had indeed noticed it, but he was not sure yet.However, when Zoe called him by his full name, he was completely certain.Zoe had regained her memories.From the moment she woke up, her emotions had been off. Even Monica noticed something wrong with her, so how could he not have seen it?Kyle looked at Zoe, reaching out to brush the hair by her temples. “It’s been a long time since you called me that.”Zoe had not called him since waking up, but as soon as she did, she called him Kyle instead of Ky. He knew then she must have remembered everything.Although Kyle knew that this day would come sooner or later, he did not expect her to regain her memories at this moment.He was completely unprepared and caught off guard.Zoe lowered her head. “That’s what I used to call you, but you tricked me into calling you Ky.”She remembered everything as soon as she woke up.The events that happened when she had forgotten felt like a dream, too surreal to be
Kyle named the baby Six not only because he was born at 6 pounds and 6 ounces but also because June 6th was the day they first met.He would always remember the scene when he first saw Zoe, even though their relationship started with deception, manipulation, and even revenge.Kyle caressed Zoe’s cheek and said, “Zoe, I’ve never told you this, but I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. It was love at first sight.“I want you to stay by my side forever and let me stay by your side forever. I’ll never let you go again in this lifetime.”Zoe’s eyes slowly reddened as she listened to Kyle’s heartfelt words.Indeed, she never knew he fell in love with her at first sight...They both did.Kyle gently wiped away her tears. “Zoe, I promise you. We’ll only part in death, never in life.”Zoe choked and nodded, burying her face in his chest as she cried.In her arms, Six seemed to sense his mother’s emotions and moved restlessly.Zoe quickly comforted him.“Let me.” Kyle took the
At the hospital. When Zoe woke up again, it was already the next morning.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Kyle sitting by her bedside.Kyle noticed her waking up and quickly held her hand. “Zoe, you’re awake. How do you feel?”Zoe stared at the man in front of her and blinked, feeling shocked.When she did not answer, Kyle immediately became nervous. “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”Zoe remained silent and continued to stare at him. Her eyes gradually turned red, and her nose tingled with a strong sense of sourness.Kyle’s heart clenched at the sight. “Zoe, don’t scare me like this. Zoe...”He was getting anxious and was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly grabbed his hand. “I... I’m okay. I just had a nightmare. I’m a bit groggy after waking up.”Kyle hugged her, his warm hand gently patting her back. “It’s okay. I’ve been by your side all along.”Zoe buried her face in his shoulder, softly humming without saying anything.At that mom
“I see.”Outside the delivery room, Kyle’s family and the others were still waiting anxiously.Close to midnight, the door finally opened, and the nurse carried the baby out.“It’s a boy. Both mother and son are safe.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.Before long, Zoe was pushed out. Monica checked on the baby before hurriedly walking to Zoe’s side and taking her hand. “Zoe, you did so well.”“I’m okay, Mom.”Zoe was still very weak after just giving birth, and her voice was weak. Monica immediately told her husband to call the servants to brew a tonic and sent it over.Mable walked to Zoe and felt her heart ache when she saw the latter’s pale face, but she smiled and said, “Congratulations, Zoe.”Zoe smiled, no longer having the strength to speak.Blair and Solomon congratulated Kyle.Kyle nodded, not paying attention to them, and took Zoe back to the ward with the nurse.Zoe was a first-time mother, so she was extremely exhausted after giving birth an
As soon as Mable learned that Zoe was about to go into labor, she rushed to the hospital immediately. It was late at night, and Blair was worried, so he accompanied her.When the two arrived at the hospital, Zoe had already been taken into the delivery room. Kyle followed her in, but his parents waited anxiously outside.Mable looked at Monica and Floyd and asked, “Isn’t Zoe’s due date still about ten days away? Why did it suddenly come early?”Monica said, “We’re not sure, either. After dinner tonight, Zoe said her stomach was hurting. Kyle helped her upstairs to rest, but not long after, he called for someone to prepare the car to go to the hospital...”Seeing Mable stare anxiously at the delivery room, Blair held her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Zoe has been healthy her whole pregnancy. There shouldn’t be any problems.”Mable nodded. “Yeah, I hope both the mother and child are safe.”Soon, Solomon and Ines also arrived.Solomon greeted Kyle’s parents and asked, “How
Without saying anything, Solomon placed his behind Ines’ head and kissed her.Ines wrapped her arms around his waist...Knock, knock!The untimely sound of knocking interrupted them.Ines jumped like a startled deer, eyes wide and cheeks red.The servant’s voice came from outside. “Sir, dinner is ready.”Solomon hugged Ines and cleared his throat. “Got it. We’ll be right there.”The servant acknowledged and left.Ines buried her head in Solomon’s chest and took a deep breath before saying, “Let’s go. Don’t want your parents to wait too long.”“Yeah.”Solomon stroked her head and looked at the drawing he had just completed. “Once it’s dry, I’ll have it framed and hang it in the bedroom, okay?”Ines asked, “In this bedroom?”Solomon nodded and kissed her forehead. “Yeah, we’ll probably come back to stay here often in the future.”Ines pursed her lips and smiled silently.“Let’s go have dinner.” Solomon led her downstairs.After having dinner at the Rowland residence, Solom
Solomon embraced Ines from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “I learned to draw when I was young and almost did fine arts for college.”“Why didn’t you?”Winning first prize in a national art competition indicated a high level of drawing skill.Solomon said, “Painting is just one of my many interests. I do it to pass the time when I’m bored. I’ve never thought of becoming an artist.”Ines nodded. “I see.”Solomon suddenly perked up and opened a small cabinet beside the bookshelf, taking out a canvas and some paints. “Come on, I’ll draw a portrait.”Ines was stunned. “Of me?”“Yep. Give me a moment.”Solomon led Ines to sit on the sofa, then went out to find a servant to bring him the easel.Although he had not painted in many years, he still had all the tools he used before.Before long, the servant helped him bring in the easel and other tools.After looking at the layout of the bedroom, Solomon asked Ines to sit in the soft chair by the window, where the lighting w
Ines blinked. “I was just thinking about what to bring to your house tomorrow. I can’t go empty-handed...”Solomon laughed at her words. “You don’t need to bring anything. Just seeing you will make them happy.”“That won’t do. I still need to buy something.”Although she knew that Solomon’s parents did not lack anything, she could not just go without a gift. It was still necessary to have proper etiquette.Ines was a little nervous at the thought of visiting his parents tomorrow. “Can you tell me what your parents are like?”Solomon noticed her nervousness and squeezed her hand. “Don’t worry. My mom and dad are very nice. They won’t make things difficult for you.”Ines looked at him and nodded.With him by her side, she was not that worried.She heard Solomon say that his father liked tea, so she bought a gift box from the supermarket. In addition, she also brought some nutritional supplements to bring along when they go to Solomon’s house tomorrow.After buying everything, th
